lyrics

Give and Not Give In 2018

She changed her name by DEPOL
She was always ahead of her time
She learned to write before she could read
Learned to sing before she could speak

She was famous for doing all the wrong things right
She said “You gotta learn to box before you can fight”
With her ticket in her hand she gathered up her things
She said “I’m gonna give and not give in”

Gonna give and not give in (James harmony or vis-à-vis)x`
Gonna love not be done in
Gonna hold someone not hide myself away
Rise above this every day

She met up with her folks and
they said “You’re not the daughter we raised,
We taught you to love the Lord heaven be praised”
She said “If there’s a God above,
I’m sure that he loves me
More than this god damn family!”

I’m still famous for doing all the wrong things right
Busy putting out all those fires I set alight
But I’ll be god-damned if I’m gonna stick to some fool plan
Has me eating out of some fool’s hand.
